Welcome to the Standing Committee on Planning
AASHTO's Standing Committee on Planning (SCOP) investigates, studies, and reports on transportation planning activities. Comprehensive transportation planning is conducted by the State Departments of Transportation for a variety of policy, programming, and project level activities, including:
- Legislative requests for transportation system performance
- Urban and statewide transportation systems
- Corridor and site planning for individual facilities.
To help serve the transportation planning community and share best-practices, SCOP:
- Reviews and evaluates methods and information essential to transportation planning
- Promotes and encourages interaction among transportation stakeholders
- Reviews national problems, existing and proposed policies, Federal guidelines, and other regulations related to transportation.

Shared Ideas
We recognize that many other individuals in the state departments of transportation and numerous other federal, state, and local agencies and the private sector are actively involved in the comprehensive transportation planning process. To help share best practices among stakeholders, SCOP created statewideplanning.org. Statewideplanning.org is used by SCOP to share resources, best practices, and other information to further improve the practice of statewide transportation planning.
